Crayons and Word Olympics

Part One: CrayonsMy gang was sick yesterday. Since the girls were already hanging out on the couch I brought them their broken crayons and made them peel the skins. We arranged broken bits in holders and popped them in the oven. Maybe I shouldn't have used a rubber ice cube tray because it melted.

But the melted tray was worth it: we have happy hearts to give away.

Which brings me to Part Two : The Writer Games

In celebration of the upcoming Olympic Winter Games, I am going to be hosting The Writer Games, a sort of blogger Word Olympics, if you will.Just like real Olympics, it will include different competitions and will take place for two weeks. And just like the real Olympics, there will be prizes: I'm talking medals, blog interviews, and a giveaway I know you'll love. (Hint hint: It has to do with craftsy recycling, and may even include melted crayons).

Hi Faith!I'm in, I'm signing up for my country, Canada! I'm ready. I am so un-athletic in every way (although I did do a marathon in dublin the year I was fifty - walking). Just let me know what I'm in for. I'd like to enter the poetry slam, radio play for three voices and my best - personal essays on a topic pulled out of a virtual hat...Jan

I loved the comment you left on Jan's blog about bringing home the music of the winds, and just had to drop by.And the first thing I find here is crayons, when I am halfway through a blog post on just that! We were meant to be!

Count me in for your Word Olympics, though it may be hard to send crayon hearts halfway across the world if I win (you can send them to Jan instead)!

The Dirt

I'm Faith Pray.I am a writerly artist living in the Pacific Northwest.I regularly wrangle four wildebeests,and make art and stories in all the extra corners. This is the place I wring out words, share art, and gush about books. Join me on my hunt for sacred moments in the midst of the whirl, joy in the daily dirt.
